History
During British rule, the official name of the city was Dehra. Dehradun is made up of two words "Dehra" + "Dun". Dehra is derived from the term "dera," which means "camp," and Dun or Doon in the Garhwali language refers to the valley lying between the Himalayan peaks and the "Shivalik.". The city was founded in 1675, and Baba Ram Rai, the son of the seventh Sikh master Guru har Rai, settled in his "Dara" or camp in the area. Around this time, the modern city of Dehradun began to develop. It was at this time that Wor ad Dehra and Dun were connected, which is why the city was called Dehradun. Other famous valleys in Doon are Kotli Doon, Patli Doon, and Pinjore Doon. Pieces of evidence such as ancient temples and idols were found in the surrounding areas of the area. In Skanda Puran, Doon is known as part of the Kedarkhand region, according to Hindu mythology, in ancient India during the epic of the Mahabharata.
